A friend of mine has just given birth to her second daughter. She has a problem with the name for the baby. She is married to an Emirati and they want a muslim name for the baby. She told me she likes the names Hessa, [name_f]Maryam[/name_f], Alreem (or Reem), Alanoud and Shamma but she is open to suggestions. As they live in the UK, they want a name that would work there. Any suggestions?
